Catwoman #48

The tagline says it all — "Old Love, New Love, All Bad!" — and Jeff Dekal's cover delivers that tension beautifully, with a composed, unmasked Selina Kyle standing in her sleek black suit while a white dove alights above her head and Batman looms watchfully in the shadows behind her. Wilting pink roses hang overhead like a romantic omen gone wrong, setting a mood that's equal parts melancholy and intrigue. With Tini Howard writing and Nico Leon on art, this opening chapter of "Furious Hearts" promises the kind of complicated heart at the center of every great Catwoman story.
